The Road ... to Somewhere.

Damn that sounds optimistic, a counter balance needs to be set in motion ... I shall play ... Talking Heads - The Road to Nowhere.

It's been a long couple of weeks folks for those few ... any? ... who read through my blog might have noticed that the imidiate offensive tones of cinicism and trolling have been toned down and in the case of my first two blog posts removed entirely.

Neither post could really be seen as something I'd actually be interested in, writing or furthering. So they've been removed, a level of trollish immaturity I hope to avoid for the most part in m continued blog.

But enough of that! Like I said it's been a long couple of weeks, animal and man, etc etc. But I'm not here to bore you with that. Let's find other things to talk about. Like the continued adventures of Skeptical Panda ... actually they've been somewhat dull as of late due to the hot weather. But soon when the rainy season hits;, the physical manifestation of Panda will come back about.

Now for the real stuff!

My Life: Messy, all over the place, induced drama, mine and others. Full of colorful individuals! Health isn't terrible, except my back is really getting to me recently think a chiropractor is in order :? Need to figure out this whole apatite thing XP

School: As Daria once put it school is a place that is "full of more colorful idiots than normal." No I'm misquoting her. But it's true in some cases ... as with my paperwork :? But how does school/classes go for me. Tiring, but rewarding. I'm doing fairly well in Colloquial Tibetan, not the best or anything, middle of the class but not bad either, and starting to get much more comfortable with the language ... now I just need to speak it more. Philosophy is bouncing around too much it feels like to me, so ... everyone is fairly scattered ... luckily due to democratic process :P we don't have a midterm till the 8th of March. Classical Tibetan isn't bad, getting tougher but I'm hanging in there, and translating with computer assistance fairly well ... if only I could cement the vocab and grammar in my mind ... damn. Specialized Studies is ... well special ... and kind of a waste of time, I swear next class we'll go so left field that we'll all be talking of our feelings or something :? Hi my name is So & So and I'm an Alcoholic.

Friends: That's a loaded question, ... let me get back to you once I've heard from more of them :? But the Russian treated us to Mexican food for his Birthday :) It was delicious, and a fun night went out for a beer, piddled about Thamel a bit, nothing going on, but always fun to have a couple drinks with good friends and watch the weirdos there. 

The Animals: Moko and Mila doing good, adjusting to the outdoors. Raja, formally Black Dog, is coming home in a day or two, he's bandaged up but doing good should be good to go and recovered in a few weeks happy he made it due to the excellent care of the dog center. Elton is doing great, his jaw doesn't seem to be bothering him, but he's still got several visits to the doctor regarding the surgery, but the little bastard goes through cans of tuna and what ever else he finds instantly, he's not happy with his room arrest but we give him enough attention the cute little bastard. And Shadow! She just won't leave me alone :P her preferred spot is sleeping next to me no matter what, in classic uncomfortable cat fashion but she's an amazing little kitten.The

House: It's quite the fort, but quite there these days, especially in the dark, my stuff remains in a pile of bags, only slightly unpacked, story of my life. But Chinese New Years resolution, set my stuff out in a more aggreeable manner :P

Movies, Shows, Cinema: Haven't seem many movies for awhile, well couple weeks, but downloaded The Nightmare Before Christmas :) good times and fond memories, all the songs are stuck in my head though XP As far as TV, I've been highly enjoying the Oregon grown, keepin it weird, comedy Portlandia (IFC), highly enjoyable experience form the genius that is Fred Armesian who plays the most convincing and hilarious Bicycle Rights bastard in episode 2 of the show. I've also highly enjoyed Bob's Burgers (FX), cute, funny, slightly dark, and pushes some envelopes that aren't pushed often :) The much anticipated How I met your Mother episode 15 is currently downloading. As far as movie going experiences nothing to say at the moment, but highly anticipating both Captain America - The first Avenger, and Thor.

Music: That is a blog on it's own, ok top three songs that have been bothering me Steady Stead - North Highlands, Your Ex Lover is Dead - Stars, and Boy - Ra Ra Riot ... wait no ... ok crap no I'm not going to comment on music till I find a better format :P Too much, too many, too new.

For now I'm going to call this blog boring but good, only mildly offensive, while still giving some insight ... little but some into the weird world that is ... my life? No that sounds too 90s. Anywho a good day to you sirs! Signing off for now.
